You mean a Pi-em?

The following sonnet is a mnemonic for pi in iambic pentameter:

Now I defy a tenet gallantly
Of circle canon law: these integers
Importing circles' quotients are, we see,
Unwieldy long series of cockle burs
Put all together, get no clarity;
Mnemonics shan't describeth so reformed
Creating, with a grammercy plainly,
A sonnet liberated yet conformed.
Strangely, the queer'st rules I manipulate
Being followéd, do facilitate
Whimsical musings from geometric bard.
This poesy, unabashed as it's distressed,
Evolvéd coherent - a simple test,
Discov'ring poetry no numerals jarred.

This is a pneumonic device for remembering the digits in Pi. The number of letters in each word in the poem represents a digit in Pi. Memorize the poem, and memorize Pi. Or just know that you could memorize Pi if you wanted to.

3 – Now

1 – I

4 – defy

1 – a

5 – tenet

9 – gallantly

I think that I shall never try,
A poem lovely as a pi.

Forget the where; forget the why.
Let's sit around and just get high.
